Electrical Wire and Cable Specialists 6 AWG Wire Meets All Marine Industry Standards

4th Feb 2019

Wiring which utilizes a 6 AWG wire (AWG = American Wire Gauge) can be placed in marine, industrial or vehicle applications. This wire is used for wiring in boats, trailers and vehicles, power supplies, spot welders and other applications which require high ampacity and sufficient cable conductivity for greater amounts of electrical transmission.

Most commonly, it is used for power transmission in marine applications such as battery cables or for cabling machinery and equipment onboard a boat such as winches and power cables for high-load capacity motors. In these applications, wire flexibility is an important factor as cables have to be able to turn and contour to a boat’s framework and conduit availabilities.

EWCS manufactures their wire in blue or red sheathing for better customer selection and application and can be purchased in different lengths for added convenience to fit your needs and applications.

What makes EWCS wire more attractive to many buyers of marine or industrial copper wiring is the high standards for manufacturing. The tendencies for electrical power transmission over larger diameter wire generally run closer to the exterior surfaces of the copper wire, particularly for wire which may have nicks along the surface as a result of inferior manufacturing techniques. This can result in a more brittle exterior of the copper wire which can shorten wire longevity and can lead to other problems in signal variances over time.

EWCS manufactures its wiring to a very stringent design criteria which results in much more continuity along the surfaces of the wire without nicks. The enhanced longevity of the wire added to the better design for flexibility of the wire makes EWCS much more desirable, particularly in marine applications where flexibility is so important.

Better base materials make better quality wire and in the higher capacity and higher ampacity applications it is imperative to have wiring components that don’t just meet specifications, but exceed specifications. Marine applications have a tendency to be the most severe environments in which to place electrical equipment and machinery not just because of the corrosive conditions in which everything must operate, but also because the nature of marine designs requires a higher degree of operating flexibility that is not often experienced in land-based applications.

There are other advantages to Electrical Wire and Cable Specialist’s products. As the manufacturer of the wire, EWCS could sell to distributors who, in turn, sell to the consumer, but this can raise the prices for products 40% to 50% or more. EWCS sells factory direct to its customers, saving their customers time and money. Added to the savings of direct sales is the ability to ship products in two days with free shipping from any of EWCS’ seven service centers across North America.

Customer service may be a lost art to some companies, but not to EWCS. With almost a quarter of a century of service to their customers, EWCS knows the backbone of their business is their customers and meeting their customer’s needs no matter what the condition. EWCS also has the ability to custom build wire and cable products to meet unique customer designs and engineering criteria. Nobody can put together a custom designed and engineered product faster or better than Electrical Wire and Cable Specialists.
